So much for a pilot shortage.
Qantas has just grounded its entire fleet due to industrial action and says it will shut down half the airline if the strikes continue into next year. Apart from this being exactly what Qantas management have wanted to do all along (CEO just got a 71% pay rise a week ago!); there will now be a considerable number of ex-QF guys looking for a job.
Saved by Oasis, now Qantas. I almost wonder if CX didn't have some inside information. My guess is they will offer them the wonderful new C scale based in HK. Those who can't get work with the likes of Emirates will take it too.
